Silence
No signals from Beagle2 yet.
Update: Watching the webcast of the press briefing. Still no signal but at least there is still hope that Beagle2 is alive and well on the surface of Mars. Beagle2 communicates with its mother-ship, the Odyssey, when the orbiting craft passes over. There are several possible reasons why no signal has yet been found. Beagle2 should be asleep now (it's night on Mars). Next time for a possible contact is tonight GMT. Beagle2 will transmit at 5 watts power - which is about the same as a mobile-phone.
